We stock and sell the PT marine grade plywood. I really like it for some applications but not all.. It is excellent for pontoon boat decks. Most of which never gets sealed. I have seen it rot in the worst of conditions, like pedestal seat bottoms where the foam gets wet and keeps the plywood soaked. Wellcraft used 1/2" CDX plywood for the foremost bulkhead on my center console. And they didn't bother to glass it 100%. Just tabbed it in place with some heavy roving.
Coosa is real nasty to work with and soaks up resin. The cost for major itch was $125 per sheet for 3/4" in 1996. I used it on my deck and hatches on my V. It is my understanding that it will never rot.

Default arauco acx

I used ACX Arauco in a bracket that I built 2.5years ago . . . I was very pleased with the product. Also used it in my transom on the 23 seacraft. Only time will tell . . . but seems like a decent lower cost alternative to Dougfir abx or Okume marine ply

Thanks Kracker . . . That's a seamark mini pilot house!! It's huge but it fits perfectly into the 23 . . . I can even standup in the console. I got it from Bill Potter who had it on loan to Piratecom in PA.
